City of Roses Disposal and Recycling is the first waste handling company in the city to electrify its vehicles.
There will soon be a new kind of electric vehicle going around east Portland: an all-electric garbage truck.
City of Roses Disposal and Recycling, along with Portland General Electric, was set to publicly unveil Oregon’s first electric garbage truck on Thursday. The zero-emissions truck, which was mostly funded through PGE’s Drive Change Fund, can hold a charge for two days’ worth of residential garbage pickups, which is about 10 hours a day. The company’s current garbage trucks, which use diesel fuel, need about 40 gallons for the same amount of work.

"PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Almost a year after Oregon announced its commitment to zero-emission vehicles, the state’s first all-electric garbage truck has hit the streets of Downtown Portland.
On Thursday morning, the Peterbilt Model 520EV was deployed for the first time in the North Park Blocks. Going forward, the garbage truck will serve East Portland — a community that Portland General Electric says is “disproportionately affected by climate change and air quality concerns.”"...
